    The only place that gives you consistently excellent food and service as well as entertainment with a wait staff that serenades with arias. At absolute must to go at least once and it’ll keep you coming back for more.

    I've been to The Victor Cafe many times over the years, and it has been consistently good. I often take "out of towners" there for the experience -- and it is always a success!

    Top notch! We come to The Victor Cafe several times a year but brought a friend this time. It was his first experience and he loved it! It was a thank you gift for him before he leaves the area! So pleased we could give him a great send off!
